[Moodle] Moodle 2, WebDAV & Cloud storage

Tue Nov 27 11:00:41 EST 2012

Hi Kent,

 We are using WebDav Navigator (free) to connect the iPad to the WebDav
server on the Win 2008 server home drives of students and teachers.
Additional apps that speak to WebDav servers can also connect to the home
drive.
 We are also connecting the iPad to moodle which allows uploading from a
number of sources. We didn't see a WebDav source so modified the Moodle
upload page to accept a WebDav server which is the home drive of the
students.
So we now have movement between students iPad <-> home drives <-> Moodle
as well as movement between Moodle and iPad directly.

Take Care
Kevork
